Revision as of 16:09, 17 November 2020

Notice Coming here to ask why I deleted your article? Read this page first...

If that doesn't help, read these FAQs.

1. Why did you delete my page when I hadn't finished writing it?

Answer: Don't create new articles unless you are sure they meet wikipedia's criteria, particularly notability and verifiability. If you want to practice, there is the sandbox facility and Wikipedia:Articles for creation where you can get a second opinion from a more experienced contributor. And if you really can't help yourself, use {{underconstruction}} so other people will know you are still working on it.

2. Why did you delete my page for advertising? I wasn't trying to advertise!

Answer: Read Wikipedia:NPOV for guidance on how to word an article so that it doesn't sound like an advertisement.

3. Why did you delete my page for advertising? It was about a non-profit organisation!

Answer: Non-profit organisations advertise all the time - it's still promotion and the rule applies to them just as it does to commercial bodies. See no 2 above.

4. Why did you delete my article without warning?

Answer: Because you are not entitled to a warning if you don't follow the guidelines. See no 1 above.

5. Why didn't you do a google search and find references for my article and put them in for me instead of just deleting it?

Answer: Because I don't have time to do the boring bits for you. I have enough boring bits of my own to work on, thank you.

6. You have a very interesting view of neutrality. The authors you give credence to have a definite point of view and you discount those that disagree.

Answer: There is of course no answer because this is not a question. It's a snide comment added by someone who doesn't understand the NPOV rule. Possibly a Ricardian revisionist.

And please SIGN YOUR POSTS, otherwise I don't know who is asking me the question!


Archives: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23

Hello Deb, could you please undelete this page so that I can correct the NPOV?

CSQ Research

No idea what you are talking about re Creative Clinic. I don't edit Wiki because it's an arcane system - which probably explains the wrong report. My massive 124 edits reflect the fact that the system is rubbish and that's an absolutely fair statement. Wikipedia does have pages for think tanks, definitions - including WAOH (an econometric library), CSQ Research, and explanations of authors and contributions. Why you have written what you wrote about a four-year-old quote is inappropriate if I'm not misreading it. Surely had it not been deleted, I would have spent more time composing a proper explanation of the dozen and more Sustainable Societies Programmes we curate. WHAT INCENTIVE IS THERE WHEN SOMEONE DELETED NEAR ALL OF THE PAGES I EVER COMPOSED? None whatsoever - so I started with something simple. I've written 40-articles and six 600-page theses in the last few years, I'm quite certain I can put something together helpful once untethered. --Edtilley4 (talk) 06:36, 4 September 2020 (UTC) --Edtilley4 (talk) 06:42, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid the issue here is that you have misunderstood what Wikipedia is. It's an encyclopedia, not an outlet for original research. I doubt that Encyclopedia Britannica would have published your contribution either. Deb (talk) 06:57, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CSQ Research exists; and its programs exist - which amounts to grounds for documentation on Wikipedia. Your judgement in this discussion appears to be qualitative and subjective, ignoring quantitative and therefore scientific reality? Politely I'll restate a request that you reinstate this legitimate listing, and should that polite appeal fail again I'll escalate a legitimate concern for your current status as a moderator at any encyclopedia - or society for that matter, considering the importance of any legitimate research and science dedicated to turning around collapse in a collapsing world. Not everyone is well suited to authority, as it requires the ability to introspect and decide ourselves wrong once in a while. Edtilley4 (talk) 11:21, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You see, you're still confused about what Wikipedia is for and how it works. You're completely incorrect in saying that "CSQ Research exists; and its programs exist - which amounts to grounds for documentation on Wikipedia." No, it absolutely doesn't. If it did, every single entity, object and person that exists would qualify for a Wikipedia article. But by all means do escalate. Perhaps when everyone else tells you the same thing, you'll start to understand. Deb (talk) 15:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The editor who interacted with me above has subsequently objected to my removal of spam links from his contributions and described me as "an over-zealous admin, with questionable mental state". I leave this here so that would-be administrators can follow the series of events and understand what they could be up against when they become admins and attempt to do the job properly.

Disruptive Editing Claim

Hello Deb, I have been working to create an informational record of this company, I have been finetuning the copy that I wrote in it's entirity and any copyright claims are absurd if you look at the source. None of the people here seem to actually provide substantive assistance or recommendations other than flagging this as a problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smistry.hsb (talkcontribs) 12:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for help to unprotect draft page

Hello Deb,

Please see my request for creating the (now protected) Draft:Codacy page. I wish to iterate on the draft until it is considered good enough for a WP:AFP process.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Melon AD - speedy deletion contested

Hello! You have deleted my page about the company Melon AD. I have been researching Wikipedia and there are numerous company pages (ex. VMWare, Hubspot, etc.). Why are you deleting my page? You seem to use the promotional restrictions rule but this is a false argumentation. I have removed all the promotional content and the page was purely informative. The company has nearly 20 years of history, has international OEM companies as partners (Nokia, Microsoft, etc.) and has numerous awards. All this was referenced in EXTERNAL sources as per the guidelines. Why are pages about some companies allowed and pages about other companies not allowed? I see that there are numerous complaints on your talk pages (not only yours but other editors, too) that you are picky about deletion. Before deleting something, wait for the author to reply/explain/contest. This is supposed to be a proper discussion. Once again - why did you delete my Melon AD page when there was nothing promotional on its latest published version? Please, reply because this is not fair. I see no reason to delete the page and keep other "promotional" pages of other companies. If those are the rules, then they should be applied to all such pages. There is nothing wrong to have a Wikipedia page about a company, which has two decades of traditions, numerous awards and not a single link or message that aims to sell in the article. All was purely informative.

Looking forward to your answer. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by GDS2020 (talkcontribs) 05:38, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Above is an example of someone who has come here to advertise a company and is annoyed because their advert has been deleted while those of their competitors haven't. Someone whose English is poor and who even includes promotional wording in their message complaining about my action. Someone who thinks they are so important that their message has to go at the top of the Talk page rather than the bottom. If you want an object lesson in how not to get your deleted article restored, this is it. Deb (talk) 07:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have read your disrespectful and petty message. I am really sorry that such characters are editors in Wikipedia. Honestly, I am surprised you chose to act in such a disrespectful manner. I have declared my affiliation with the company I created the page for. I have even stated that when I uploaded the logo. I also stated I am ready to provide any other information that may be needed. My "promotional" content in the objection above is actually a detailed explanation. That's how discussions work. Furthermore, like any other normal human being, I took notes from my first article and edited the second draft accordingly. I can admit when I have made a mistake. We never stop learning.

One thing I will not tolerate (and no one else should tolerate) is false accusations and trying to put my name in the dirt. Please, acknowledge your role on this website and in this community. You have certain duties. I am afraid you have failed to step up on numerous occasions (check your page for references). My question about having articles on other companies, which are clearly promotional, remains unanswered. Why are you afraid to provide answers to specific questions? Once again - I have seen messages from other users complaining about the same. It seems you need to address your lack of adequate judgement. Insulting people on the website is not mature. Insulting my English... Well, that is just hilarious. Please, for the sake of Wikipedia, adjust your attitude because being insolent is detrimental to this community. I no longer wish to have anything to do with you and the entire process. I will address this the proper way. I wish you clarity. I also wish everyone else, who was improperly penalised by your actions, better luck and just results in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GDS2020 (talkcontribs) 14:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @GDS2020: I've examined both versions of the article you wrote about your company, and they were both written like marketing brochures and not like encyclopedia articles. They read like lists of every possible good thing you could think of to write about the company, trying to show how wonderful it is, and not like the neutral disinterested description based on what independent sources say that we would need for a Wikipedia article. If you are in marketing, or you are otherwise closely attached to a company, it can be hard to take a detached view and see it the way others do - you are certainly not alone in that. But the two verisons of the article, as written by you, were not appropriate, and their deletions were correct. Promotion, under the Wikipedia WP:G11 meaning, covers a lot more than just having links or messages that aim to sell. Attacking the deleting admin for doing the right thing is not going to help your case. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:54, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion Mix-up

Dear Deb,

I am not sure if this is the right place to message you, but I didn't know how else to reach you.

You sent my page to speedy deletion today. Thank you for being so thorough and quick in this, as I had only opened the page yesterday. However, it is very important for me to say that this page was still very much unfinished. It was in a very beginning draft page, and needed a lot more work.

I am wondering if there is a way to recover the page, and for me to able to continue working on it without it getting deleted (until it is ready for publishing). My intention is not to advertise or promote, but simply to inform based on facts about this individual. I have no close contact or relationship with her, I simply want the great platform of Wikipedia to recognize who is she/what she has done.

Thank you for your understanding, and please update me if there is anything else I can do/anybody else I can reach out to.

Hi Deb,

Just following up on the previous message.

The template that you see is one that I created myself. It is simply my own thoughts/notes on where I should put things on the Wikipedia page. It was a guide I created for myself which I had placed in as I was working on the page. I created the template after looking at other similar Wikipedia pages. I wanted this page to be good, so I looked at similar pages in order to make it the best page that it can be. This is when I created the template.

You asked about my connection with the subject of the article. I have no connection/relationship with her. I have recently returned to my home country (Israel), and was looking at powerful leading women for inspiration. In my search, I found Ghaida, and I decided to write about her and her life/work. I have not written a Wikipedia page before, and decided it would also give me some experience/exposure to it. She is a women that stands for a lot of important things, and therefore I hoped to be able to use this platform to allow other women such as myself to be inspired by her as well.

Let me know if there are any other questions I can answer and whether or not this page can be brought back.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Deb,

Thanks again for your message! and I will take that advice.

Just to clarify though, there is no way to retrieve the existing page?

CSQ Research speedy deletion

Still here four years after you speedy deleted CSQ Research. The library is a FACT Tank and Econometrics Library -without the patience to navigate Wikipedia's deletions. How to get the website you deleted four years ago back up and listed? Ironically the site solves the problem of unsustainable societies so that it doesn't collapse. Thank heavens you were there to rescue the world from theses that prevent Social and Economic collapse. Clearly, that knowledge and resources couldn't have come in handy this past few years right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edtilley4 (talkcontribs) 04:44, 16 August 2020 (UTC) Edtilley4 (talk) 05:51, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ME TOO DEB NO PROMOTION IM A BLOGGER FRANSISCA SIM JUST STARTING PLEASE RECREATE MY PAGE !!!! Hello Deb

Sorry if this is the wrong place to comment on this, I wasn't sure how else to send you a message.

On 8th July you reviewed a page for Creative Clinic and proposed it for speedy deletion.

I was wondering whether any of the following citations in support of what was written would help to have this reinstated and show that this is news rather than promotion? There are numerous, respected independent publications talking about Creative Clinic and in particular its work on #ClapForOurCarers. Please see the following references:

https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/third-sector-digital-awards-%E2%80%93-best-online-awareness-campaign-creative-clinic-clapforourcarers/article/1690746

https://www.thirdsectordigitalawards.com/results-2020/

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/community-agency-behind-clap-for-carers-initiative-wins-award/

There is also a Wikipedia page about Clap For Our Carers and the impact Creative Clinic's work has had at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clap_for_Our_Carers

In particular this: "Why did it win? By 30 June 2020, the social media reach of the #ClapForCarers campaign included more than 413 million views on TikTok; 553,000 impressions on Instagram; and 1.4 million impressions on Twitter. Leading figures in public office supported the campaign, including the Queen, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London, and the campaign also benefited from celebrity support, from the Beckhams to Daniel Craig. The campaign was hugely successful in raising awareness of, and pride in, the vital roles that frontline NHS and key workers played across the coronavirus pandemic, with the weekly round of applause becoming a focal point of the initial crisis. The BBC, ITV, Channel Four and Sky News / Sky One broadcasted the applause live for nine weeks."

and also this: "What did the judges say? This work hit at the right time and the right place and people were ready for it,” judges said, praising the coordinated effort to promote Annemarie’s initiative. “The response and reach was massive and powerful. the most effective work here. The Clap for Carers has become part of our culture."

I hope this will allay your concerns. If not are you able to help with creation of the entry in such a way as to be acceptable?

Many thanks for your consideration.

Hi Deb, this is Saikat; I created the page years ago with a neutral voice and trusted references. She is a notable personality and has multiple references. However, the page had been edited by other users afterwards. Could you please retrieve the page with the version I created. Saikatblogger (talk) 10:04, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth the create this page from scratch right now. Here are some credible references just in case you need:

Otherwise, I'll wait for someone else to build the page. Given her huge popularity in the spaces of Technology, Business and Entrepreneurship, I'm sure someone would pick it up.

Thanks for all your help buddy. Stay safe!

Ypso-Facto - deleted page

Hello,

You deleted the wikipedia page created yesterday and named "Ypso-Facto" because you found it too promotional. I would like to contest this deletion because the page was neutral and only descriptive: there was no marketing content. Moreover, many companies, working in the same sector as Ypso-Facto, have a Wikipedia page (Apsen Technology, Intelligen, Novasep...). So can I find out why their page is allowed and not ours?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

With kind regards, Loriane.mcr

Jonesy & Amanda Deletion

You deleted the wikipedia page created named "Jonesy & Amanda" because you found it too promotional. I would like to contest this deletion as it is taken directly from their show website. It is not marketing at all and is about a radio show. All statements were cited and taken directly from the sources provided. It follows the same format that competitive shows Kyle & Jackie O, Jase & PJ, The Christian O'Connell Show and Kate, Tim and Marty.

Hi Deb,

Before I write this article I had a research and the information of this article is informative. Please check the public reviews from different angles that I have mentioned in the article. There is no any promotional content in the article.

As for the following article you mentioned “ Rebecca Brown (missionary)” first, this article contains wrong information. For example it says Rebecca Brown(missionary). But, Rebecca Brown Yoder was not a missionary second, the link “Rebecca Brown (author)” directs to Australian author which is totally different person.

Because of the above reasons I ask you today undo "Rebecca_Brown_(Yoder),_M.D." from the deletion.

Review of Paletzorg page

Hello Deb, Thank you for your quick reaction! And compliments and thanks that you do such great work for Wikipedia, that is much appreciated. I’m a big fan of Wikipedia and apparently, I did something wrong, my apologies. I just wrote my first Wikipedia page, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paletzorg, and added the Paletzorg logo to it. In my Sandbox I tried to create an English version of it. I very much agree that I should not do ambiguous advertising and that I should not infringe copyright. Both are not my intention and I certainly don’t want to create spam. I am founder and chair of Paletzorg and I simply would like to add it on Wikipedia, not as an advertisement, but just as neutral info. Paletzorg exists for quite some time, it is quite well known in the North of the Netherlands and it is a non-profit group (I’m a volunteer, for example). To confirm my role and the fact that I’m the owner of the Paletzorg logo, I just sent an e-mail to Permissions-Commons using the Interactive Release Generator and I also created the page www.Paletzorg.org/copyright.htm, as an additional confirmation. How can I prove to Wikipedia that there is no copyright issue and that I approve that the info that I provided is published on Wikipedia and that I try to (and intend to) comply to Wikipedia copyright and Commons regulations? Can I for example add a sentence like “The text of this website is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution -Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License” to the Paletzorg Wikipedia pages? And maybe add that I’m the founder and chair of Paletzorg? In my own Sandbox I’ve created a new version, in which I’ve deleted a lot and added the sentence on the license. I hope that this is better and I hope that I can somehow obtain approval from Wikipedia to publish something about Paletzorg. Thank you very much for your reaction and your help!

Deb, I don't understand Glen's comment. I've read the relevant guidelines. I can cure the problems with the article.

Hello, the Fast Buds Seeds page I have created was deleted. I completely understand the motives and want a chance to edit it so it complies with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Is there any way I can access it or create a new one? Enzoschillaci (talk) 13:43, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I closed a request at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard by an unregistered editor. I am not entirely sure what the filing editor wants, but they are saying that you already made some sort of ruling as a neutral moderator. The dispute may need ignoring. The article may need semi-protection. Maybe they really have a valid complaint that they are not expressing in English. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article deletion Reply

Hello Deb, now that I have read the article on COI, I will refrain from further action regarding the article on Salem Kolleg, since I live in the same town and am friends with a staff member employed there. Nonetheless I would like to mention that I was not paid to write up or post the article! Kind regards, --Baekemm (talk) 18:25, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You changed the first sentence from "Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (baptised 15 January 1622; died 17 February 1673)" to "Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (15 January 1622 (baptised) – 17 February 1673)" with the edit summary: "bring intro into line with bio standards". Where does it say this is "standard"? --Robert.Allen (talk) 19:50, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, Robert.Allen. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography gives the standard layout for the opening paragraph. Normally you would only include the words "born" or "died" if you only have one of those dates. For living subjects, "born" is used. For dead subjects, where you don't know their date of birth, "died" is used. But where you know both birth and death dates, "born" and "died" are superfluous. "Baptised" is sometimes added for clarification, where there is doubt about the actual birth date, and there's no convention that it should go within the brackets at all, which is why it's more usually done like this. But you could equally well put in an explanatory comment and clarify within a later sentence. Deb (talk) 20:21, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Deb, It appears MOS does not give specific guidance on this. I have been looking for it, but have never found any. I did a Google search of the Wikipedia. I found several articles with the format you used, but also as many or more with, for example: "George Insole (baptised 5 December 1790 – 1 January 1851)". Personally, I do not like using parentheses within parentheses so would prefer the latter. Would you find that acceptable? --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:30, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since I left the above comment, I checked The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed., which on p. 337 recommends against using parentheses within parentheses, and found that it also adds: "British style is to use parentheses within parentheses." Perhaps this cultural difference accounts for some of the variations we find on the Wikipedia: American editors may have a preference for varaiants which don't use them. (English teachers in American schools probably insist on avoiding them.) --Robert.Allen (talk) 06:35, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Robert.Allen, I imagine you're right. Deb (talk) 07:06, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, since I learned about the difference, I'm more willing to accept your edit at Molière. (If it's OK with the British, then it's OK with me!) Thanks for the feedback. --Robert.Allen (talk) 07:17, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding page "Raju Kannampuzha George"

Hello Deb, I don't see how the page was advertising? I have adhered to all the Wikipedia policy and while I'm new to Wikipedia I did a lot of research and I took reference of many exiting Wikipedia page like "M. A. Yusuff Ali", "Mammootty", "B. Ravi Pillai" etc while drafting my article.

I have linked all the notable reputed websites as the reference to my article and framed the article on a person not on a any promotion of any company, there was only one section of his work where his company was mentioned but that's pretty obvious if we are writing about someone then their work will be mentioned.

Two Wikipedia admins also checked the article and they did minor edits to it but they did not find any promotion or advertisement in that article.

The whole article was around a person and his journey till now. Can you please look into this and if you think that any particular section comes under advertising or promotion then I'm ready to change that section but deleting the whole page was not necessary.

Thanks for all your active contribution to Wikipedia. Stay safe!

--Akhilraj25 (talk) 17:13, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Deb, I am a student and as part of my social activity, I searched the internet to look up a prominent person around my area. As I noticed many news articles written about him and many notable website articles about him, I choose him and thus created the article. I'm willing to add COI ( that I have mentioned above ) this time on the article talk page and remove any promotional content you thought was present in the previous article also I want you to review the article before moving it to mainspace. if you are okay with this please leave a comment. --Akhilraj25 (talk) 10:18, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Deb, I have created a new draft page in my sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Akhilraj25/sandbox) can you review it. also, it's still a work in progress but I have cut short the content. --Akhilraj25 (talk) 10:40, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Hello, I am the user ElPran68Oficial, I want to apologize for having created my own biography multiple times, I'm really sorry, I just wanted to create Diepiify's, but I I should never have created my own. I also asked to change my username on Spanish wikipedia, but they have not responded to me yet, so I resort to asking you for my unlocking on your wall.

190.36.4.112 (talk) 20:31, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, that last thing this user wrote isn't true: as you can see here, this user never asked to change his username, or did any other edit in the namespace "Wikipedia". By the way, I'm an administrator in the es.Wikipedia, and I'm going to block this user there, because of his refusal to changing his user name. Have a nice week. --Marcelo (talk) 02:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GDC Technology Limited

Howdy Deb,

I was astonished to find my first edit page of "GDC Technology Limited" deleted by you for reason G11, namely "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". I am an avid follower of digital cinema, and thus have been following GDC Technology for years since GDC has contributed to the world's cinema during its transition from 35mm film to digital cinema. Everything I had written is factual information without any mention or promotion of GDC's products or services. Moreover, I used very reputable and accessible news references such as Bloomberg, Reuters, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to support my contributions. Regarding how I "moved from draft without attention to review comments", I did in fact reply user "1292simon" on my Talk page.

I would be grateful if you could enlighten me what was considered as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" in my deleted contribution.

MyQ solution deleted page

Hello Deb, I hope this message finds you well. I don't mean to cause any inconveniences but I would like to address the deletion of the "MyQ solution" article. I would like to mention that I posted a similar message on the talk page of the "speedy deletion" page of the article.

Albeit this is my first attempt at writing an article, I tried my best in using neutral language and unbiased sources to reference every piece of information found in the article. There was a previous occurrence of the page being labeled promotional, and have I tried amending the page to better fit Wikipedia's guidelines (guess it was not enough). I have read through the "Neutral point of view" page that you linked me too, the only part of the "MyQ" article where I believe it could possibly contain some sort of leaning is the introductory summary at the top of the page.

I am still learning the ropes around here so I would sincerely appreciate it if you would kindly advise me on two things:

a) What made my article promotional?

b) I do not want to waste people's time in the future; would you recommend I get the article reviewed? I admit I did not do this previously, my confidence was founded in me using other live articles of similar organizations as guiding examples to model after.

The previous deleting administrator listed some problems; I could address all but one (which really stood out in my eyes). They mentioned that the page suspiciously followed a structure similar to how a user with a strong COI would create an article i.e. someone strongly affiliated with the organization. I have stated my possible COI to the previous deleting administrator and they determined that I do not have one. Your opinion might differ, so, it is as follows: I joined this community and contribute in a direct manner because I want to show my appreciation for all the good it has brought me and the personal fulfillment I would feel if I did the same for someone else. I decided to write my first article haphazardly on this particular subject and company because I am familiar with this company through my father (who works in another company in the printing industry) and my university uses their product. I cannot further explain the machinations of my brain to have had this fresh in my mind when I decided to create this page, nonetheless I thought the company was noteworthy enough to have an article about them. When I was creating the page, as mentioned previously, I used articles that are currently live and are very similar to the subject matter as examples to follow (namely other printing company pages like "ysoft" or "equitrac").

Again, sorry for any inconvenience and if I rambled a little bit. Thank you for your patience and time and hope you will dispel my queries, warm thoughts, Rami9610 (talk) 11:36, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Deb for your prompt response and advise. Could you please recreate it as a draft in my sandbox so that I could submit for a review? Rami9610 (talk) 12:40, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's unfortunate, I would have been able to pick up where my language was inadequate. Nevertheless, God bless you and my sincere thanks for your time Rami9610 (talk) 13:41, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Modest Fashion Week

Hey Deb,

I wanted to ask about the deletion of the page I recently created, Modest Fashion Week. I believed it was written according to the Wikipedia guidelines. I wrote it in a way that it was packed with facts and backed it up with numerous sources. Also used similar existing Wikipedia pages like New York Fashion Week as reference. I'm really lost on what kind of changes I need to make to be able to publish the page and would greatly appreciate if you could guide me (please keep in mind I had already read the guidelines prior to creating the page). Thanks in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emrah Altay (talkcontribs) 11:24, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question about a page deletion

Hello Deb,

I am writing to request help about a situation regarding a deleted wikipedia page. The page for Crystal Johnson (singer) has been in existence for many years. It appeared to me that the prior versions of the article did not do justice to this artist's long standing career. I attempted to find valid, additional verifiable sources to expand the article based upon her contributions in the music industry.

I would like to find an appropriate way to restore the page since the page was completely deleted due to errors unintentionally committed on my behalf. I would be happy to help have it restored to an earlier version from the past.

Any help/guidance you can provide to quickly resolve this would be helpful and appreciated.

Thank you, musiklova67Musiklova67 (talk) 13:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb,

I saw Crystal Johnson perform live in 2011 where I purchased her cd as a fan. Earlier this year, I saw a couple of YouTube interviews which led me to Google her. The Wikipedia article I found didn't seem to encompass the totality of her achievements in the music industry. I was unaware that while trying to add facts, the content appears less than neutral.

I learned of Sam Jonathan Johnson after I saw where they collaborated on a song, which I purchased. I subsequently found out more about him from internet articles.

Please let me know how to have the article restored to a prior revision point, if possible.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Deb,

I made revisions on the draft and added additional references. I sent it for review, thank you for your help. musiklova67Musiklova67 (talk) 06:55, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged as advert like

Hello @Deb:. You tagged an article I created recently as "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement". I assume you would know what this content is. Please may you give an indicator on the article's talk page? I am not sure how to proceed/resolve the issue because, as far as I can tell, what I wrote is supported by the references.

Please may you assist @Ipigott: @Lefcentreright: @Rosiestep: @Bobbyshabangu: @Discott: @Jesswade88: @I JethroBT:

@Deb: I'll reply here. Yes I am fully aware that my edit history can be seen. All I am saying is that you tagged and deleted some edits/pages that I made without leaving any message on my talk page, before I contacted you. It can engender a positive editing experience for folks if a message is left. I don't have anything personal at all with you. Like I said I appreciate your edits. If you feel that I have attacked you, I am very sorry - I apologize. I am open to friendship. Ear-phone (talk) 16:59, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi my friend @Deb:. I wanted to run this by you. This looks like an edit that needs to be reverted?. Ear-phone (talk) 08:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the help @Deb:. I was going to try and find an appropriately licenced image, like I did for the second last article I created. As you saw, I ran into immediate challenges as soon as I created that music page. What would your advice be? I would like to avoid challenges. Ear-phone (talk) 12:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pietro Ferraro

Deb,

I really do not understand why you deleted my article about Pietro Ferraro. I have just translated the Italian version of it and added extra information which is referenced. I do not understand what part of the article is "not up to community standard". I understand the fact that being a senior editor for Wikipedia must be extremely time consuming and challenging, but if you could please communicate clearly what I need to do in order to get my article published I would be very greatful. Thanks!

Deleted Article

Hey Deb,

You recently deleted an article named Chemcare. I think it's very similar on every level to these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos_Corporation & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMahon_Services & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Blue_Asbestos.

Let me know what you think! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 808Gate (talkcontribs) 20:22, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that:

  1. Whether they are similar is irrelevant to whether Chemcare should have been deleted.
  2. None of them contain the kind of promotional language for which Chemcare was deleted.

Deb (talk) 08:15, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deb So, why not gave a chance to clean it up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 808Gate (talkcontribs) 15:49, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Sastha Aravind

Hi sir, Can u please clarify, on what basis it is considered promotional. And it is just a draft, why is it being considered as a full fledged article? Vasudharini (talk) 14:06, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New version of Printique built

Hi Deb,

I deleted my first draft of Printique's page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Printique and wrote a new one to correct the promotional problems. Could you take a look? Thank you.

Hi Deb,

I removed all external links. Is there anything else I can do to make this publish-able?

Thank you, Mdempsey126 (talk) 16:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb,

I removed promotional language. Am I closer?

Mdempsey126 (talk) 01:56, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed all external links to articles/references, like NY Times. should I put those back in? Mdempsey126 (talk) 18:36, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb,

I added citations. Can you please take another look? Thank you. Mdempsey126 (talk) 01:30, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mdempsey126, I advised you to use the Teahouse for queries. If you think the article is ready, please submit for review. Deb (talk) 09:42, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Deb. You deleted my page The Biber Protocol for promotional content and I would like to have access so I can revise it. Will you please make it available to me? HolSegel (talk) 16:09, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
